I submitted my claim in August. I did my C&P exam the end of February and got a decision last week. Per Vets.gov website my estimated completion date was May 2019, then went to July after my C&P exam. Two weeks later it moved to September and then last week moved to November. Ebenefits shows my updated rating but Vets.gov still shows evidence gathering phase with November completion date. I had quite a few conditions I filed increases on or new claims so I hope that helps. Stick with it.

I was found unfit on January 25th and I'm currently 61 days into waiting for ratings. My MSC said that the DRAS is going through an update and that he has no estimate of a timeline. He said their are people at the 80+ day mark. I'm dying of anxiety waiting for these damn proposed ratings.

I did receive an email from my PEBLO on Thursday confirming this. They sent an email out to all SM awaiting ratings. VA is understaffed, ratings taking exceptionally long, go ahead and take leave if you want to.

Essentially the takeaway was, don't hold your breath it is going to be a minute

I called the PEB this morning and was told that the PEB is having system issue and they cant view claims that have been submitted. They have not timeline of when a fix will be issued but the gentleman at the PEB did say hell give me a call. Not sure if this shines some light on the process but hope it helps.

Your local PEBLO emailed those waiting for ratings or the VA? Just asking because I haven't received anything. And although the status on ebenefits really doesn't mean much of anything, I noticed that Friday it changed to Pending Decision Approval. Probably just toying with my emotions!

I'm at 28 days today waiting on VA ratings, I'm hoping for 45 days or less- we'll see. In the meantime, I'm clearing CIF next week. For you non Army peeps, CIF if where we get all our great and wonderful gear. No more moving all of that stuff across the country (there are better words to use but I'll refrain).
